GoDaddy CEO: There Has To Be Consensus About The Leadership Of The Internet Community
In a brief interview with TechCrunch, GoDaddy's new CEO, Warren Adelman, did a little damage control relating to the company's highly public reversal of its position on SOPA. GoDaddy had previously issued a strong statement of support for the controversial bill, which you can find here. The last day has seen a growing grassroots rejection of the company and its position in the form of a boycott. But today brought a statement from the company apparently doing a complete about-face.Adelman noted that he had "been CEO of this company for all of one week," and that the complaints and feedback had grown just over the last 24 hours, and it is during this time that he became involved. He said that the feedback made him realize they should "take a step back and look at the current legislation." Of course, the outcry against SOPA and its twin in the Senate goes back much further.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/GzWKgNyBnQU/
